FERCYOU

Thank you and congratulations to these ladies for all their selfless hard work and accomplishment on behalf of their fellow captive ratepayers.

Lesson: If everyone spent less time here spewing political vitriol and more time holding corporations and regulators accountable like these ladies have done, we'd all be paying less for monopoly services.

Quit complaining and expecting some fictional "government" or "corporation" to protect your interests. They are not and will not. Nobody is looking out for you.

If you think government is just a non-partisan, independent and neutral utopia compared to the dirty, big-business, free market...

...then you need to check out Obama's latest endeavor on Politico entitled, "Barack Obama’s new ‘grass-roots’ group isn't quite".

Hopefully you will learn that an "energetic" government is the means by which abuse is most easily forced on everyone via corporate interests and "benevolent", "charitable" individuals seeking the "good of all mankind."

And, once again shows that government oversight and efficiency are rarely what people deceive themselves into believing that they are.

We only here about the cases where some concerned citizen goes above and beyond to bring accountability.

All the while, unlike a private, free-market where I can stop shopping and/or buy from somewhere else. In the government case, you are forced to continue to pay. And, likely pay for the damages and "clean up" and corrections later--such as with Sheriff Bobby Shirley.
